When a guy says something like "My son is turning 2 tommarow" or "We finnally decided to get married the weddings in 2 weeks" or "Just 3 more days till i retire" then dies in the same or next scene.

A person hearing a noise in a dark room and then decides to check it out. Then dies.


I'd get the hell out of there.

A horror where the cops are killed like they are small fries while the teenager defeats the killer.

Once just once I would like the person who is told "stay here it's to dangerous." I want just once to see them stay.

lol Same damn plot line every time.....Ok there is a dangerous situation...A cop tells me to stay there.....Now I wont go near the trouble but there is no fucking way I am just going to stand there and let the bad guy find me ......by the time the hero or bad guy gets back to where I was supposed to be my ass would be on a damn plane to Hawaii or something.

Villain: "Go ahead, do it! FINISH ME!"
*Hero raises sword/gun as if to kill the villain, but stabs/tosses it into the ground*
Hero: I won't sink to your level.
*Villain tries to kill hero, hero turns around and kills villain or causes his death somehow, or something happens where he's knocked down yet again.*

That is so annoying just because you know how it's going to go down EVERY time, no matter how subtle they try to be about it. You may have noticed this happened recently in Prince Caspian. Just watch that movie and you have my answer to this thread.

I did, it does happens.
The only time I've seen someone actually fucking the villain was in a Justice League episode, the one with the story arc of Aquaman.

reminds me of a scene in Firefly where Mal decides to not do a job. He gives the advance money back to the guy and the guys says keep your monry, there aint a moon large enough for you to hide from me. Mal just says "damn" and kicks him through a jet turbine then repeats himself to the next guy in line.

Scenes like that just make me wonder wh shows like that ever get thrown off the air.

Here are some of mine:

- In horror films in general, why nobody ever fights for their lives? Not at the ending with your archetypical last girl, but like, why don't they fight from the beginning? They just scream and run, or run and scream, can't they even grab a toothpick and fight back?

- Stop destroying New York, there are other cities, and other countries for that matter.
